Reuse a plastic bottle to make a stable yet tasteful holder of any 2 types of things, e.g., pens and paperclips, nults and bolts. The bottle in the middle is gatorade.

This is great it reminds me of a bottle cutting kit my dad got in the early 70s. He turned every beer and wine bottle into a glass, cup or holder thingy. Link to the kit is herehere.

Is there any other way to attach the two peices other than using a rivet?

Step 4: "...A small nut and bolt would work just as well. I did not have much luck with the glue I tried."

Most any two part epoxy works great on plastics like these, you can get it at any department or hardware store.

Good idea. I could store electronic components in this.

Way cool idea. It's a shame I don't have more desk space or I would use this to store the excessive amount of capacitors lying around...

You should sell these. I can think of a few people who would buy them. Namely, secretaries and teachers. Really cool!

Wow! These are amazing! They actually look like store-bought items. Great job! Will definitely do this, instead of wasting money on small cases and stuff. +1 rating. (added to favorites.
